Hollywood Actress Cheers the Extinction of Straight White Males!

If you’re asking, “What problem?” you clearly haven’t been paying attention to social justice warriors like Lena Dunham.

In fairness, Dunham isn’t calling for the extinction of white straight men. She did tweet out a link yesterday to a video of an animation by someone named Sophie Koko (pronounced “cuckoo,” I think) Gates that asks — and attempts to answer — the question “How do you feel about the extinction of white men?”

But Dunham’s solution, which sounds less — shall we say? — “final” (to put it in historical perspective), is, as she notes in the tweet, to oversee or manage “the evolution of men into better men.” Again, it’s hard to see how Dunham envisions herself having a proactive role in this process. Enforced cross-breeding perhaps?

The solution in the animation she cites is the Obamaesque-sounding “High time for straight white males to step back and let some other people do it.” (Remember Obama’s willingness to let Republicans ride in back while he drove America out of its ditch?)
